Brief Description of Monostable Operation:
Figure 1 C1 Grounded
Figure 6 C1 Grounded
4. The switch S1 is opened driving the TRIGGER back to HIGH (Figure 8).
The output of the lower comparator 2 changes to LOW (VCC > 1/3 VCC);
comparator 1 remains unchanged at LOW. The trigger pulse must be
shorter than the output pulse width allowing time for the timing capacitor
to charge and then discharge fully.
t = 1.1 x R1 x C1
Where:
t = Duration of output pulse in seconds
R1 = Resistance of R1 in Ohms
C1 = Capacitance of C1 in Farads
o Procedure:
Build the circuit below:
Let VCC = +5 V. According to the NE555 spec sheet, when VCC = +5 V,
the typical output voltage is 3.3 V.
Use the 220 ohm resistor in series with an LED as the output.
Calculate the duration of the output pulse t for R1 and C1 in the circuit
above. The pulse duration t begins when S1 is closed (Pin 2 is driven
LOW). (t = 1.1 x R1 x C1)
Now change C1 to 10 F and recalculate the pulse duration, t
Measure the pulse duration t using a stop watch and record your results.

o Purpose: The purpose is to have the student use the appropriate formulas to
design a 555 timer circuit for monostable operation.
o Apparatus and Materials:
o Procedure:
Build the monostable circuit below after determining the values of R1
and C1.
Let VCC = +5 V.
Use the 220 ohm resistor in series with an LED as the output.
Design a circuit with an output pulse of 5 seconds.
Use the 555 Monostable Time Delay Graph on the next page to
determine approximate values of R1 and C1.
Calculate more precise values using the formula:
t = 1.1 x R1 x C1.
